Abstract excerpt
Thoracic aortic diseases (or aortopathies) result from complex interactions between genetic and hemodynamic factors. Often clinically silent, these diseases can lead to lethal complications such as aortic dissection or rupture. This study focused on a Brazilian cohort of 79 individuals with thoracic aortic diseases and explored genetic factors through targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) of 15 priority...
